The Welsh First Minister, Mark Drakeford, recently announced the government’s intention to allocate £4.7M for the redevelopment of the All Wales Adult Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Centre at the University Hospital in Llandough.

This funding from the Welsh Government will be used to both redevelop and expand the All Wales Adult Cystic Fibrosis Centre which, upon it’s original construction in 1997, was a nine bed facility but was recently reduced to a seven bed facility in line with revised care guidelines on infection control. However, recent demand for care of this condition has outgrown the facility’s capacity.

The redevelopment works themselves will involve the refurbishment of existing facilities as well as the increased capacity of the centre to 16 beds with additional features such as new gymnasium rooms, treatment rooms, and enhanced mechanical and electrical services with work scheduled to commence in the January of 2020 and continue until November 2020 so that the centre can be reopened in the December.
